Deebo Samuel Sr. has been getting criticism and ridicule from all angles this offseason. Most of it was extremely harsh, but the Washington Commanders' wide receiver is working tirelessly to silence his doubters this summer.
The Commanders got to the front of the queue when most thought Samuel would be released by the San Francisco 49ers. Adam Peters believed enough in the wideout to take on the final year of his contract and send a fifth-round pick to his old employers. It's the definition of a low-risk, high-reward gamble that the versatile pass-catcher is eager to repay.
